"Hi, I'm Reverick and I'm dead now, 'cause I smoke cigarettes. Cigarettes didn't kill me - a bunch of non-smokers kicked the shit out of me one night. I tried to run - they had more energy than I, I tried to hide - they heard me wheezing. "
-Bill Hicks

Hey, If I don't plan on having kids, I should be allowed to enjoy what ever I want, be it tobacco or alcohol.

Downvote me for living the lifestyle I want to live. You want gay marriage? That's cool. You want abortion legalized? That's cool too. You want to smoke a cigarette? Fuck you it will kill you! Gotta love reddit double standards.

And this is what's wrong with people like you (Not smokers. Stupid people). He never said smoking should be illegal. He just said that the OP should stop smoking. It's not a command. It's a suggestion.

I'm not gonna tell you to quit smoking, but lumping those together is ridiculous. Gay marriage and abortions don't put out chemicals into the air that causes the people around them to get cancer or asthma.

Why are you taking the born again Christian approach? Just because you have quit smoking doesn't suddenly give you the right to talk down to those who still do. I say this as someone who never started smoking in the first place, People can do as they please.

not the approach i'm taking at all. everyone who smokes, experiences the same "damn I need to quit this, this is shit." my beliefs were the same. i never defended cigarette use as "living the lifestyle i WANT to live" -- because it's not a true want. i don't care if people smoke cigs (at least in private; smelling that shit in public is a HUGE annoyance). you have the right to smoke cigarettes, but it's a HUGE impact on the way your brain works. it's truly shitty, and everyone young who smokes these days basically is aware of it and wants/"plans" on quitting -- just not 'now'.

The people down-voting you are ridiculous, you make a great point, and nobody has yet to say you're wrong. Cigarettes do affect your everyday life, and in a negative way. It's really annoying to do anything with smokers, like going to the movies, amusement parks, or parties, because every couple of minutes they have to whip out a cigarette because they "HAVE to have one" and I usually don't want to be anywhere near them because I don't want to inhale all of the toxic fumes they spit out into the air everybody else has to breathe.

My friend smoked a cigarette, but because of the tobacco gangs, he ended up getting shot in the eye which lead to decreased depth perception. One day, he thought a train was much farther away than it was, so he tried to run across the tracks. However, the train was very close to him, and ended up running him over, crushing his legs. Now my friend is so injured, he can only stay in his hospital room, unable to see visitors or actually prove this story is real.

This is what I use personally. I bought it a month ago, and have not even thought about picking up a cigarette ever since. I smoked close to a pack a day for almost ten years and have been able to quit "manual" cigarettes cold turkey with zero negative aspects.

It hits exactly like a cigarette would, and I get the nicotine necessary to keep me sane with the option to vape juice with lower nicotine levels in the future until I ween myself off completely.

Now I "vape" cheesecake, blueberry pancake, or whatever kind of flavor I feel like smoking without bothering anyone anywhere I want. My sense of smell is still coming back, my clothes/breath don't stink anymore, and the device has already effectively paid for itself compared to what I'd have paid if I'd kept smoking.

There is even a subreddit full of information and helpful people if you decide to try it out.

This is the best legitimate advice I have seen in this post so far and it's all the way down here. WHY?

Edit: And here come the downvotes from all the little kiddies fresh out of Health Ed. Seriously? It's like nobody here has friends who smoke, but they all have something to say on the subject, don't they?

I love that game shes playing. I have seriously considered buying another DS just to play more Picross. Then I discovered it wasn't just a DS game and found out there are many picross/japanese crosswords apps on my android phone and tablet devices.

Can I just say one thing. It's not the actual drug that annoys me, but the idiotic 12 year old sounding potheads that pop up anytime anyone mentions smoking. weed, etc. Marijuana should be legalized just so potheads have nothing to talk about ever again.

I feel like only a general of... like, surgeons or something, only one of THEM would have come up with this. This dude must be a general in a surgeon army! Maybe we should put his warning on each pack?

You see, that talk right there relating them to people with developmental disorders is completely unwarranted and way off base. They make a conscious decision to take their lives. Just as people make conscious decisions to eat fast food, drive fast cars, go skydiving, and smoke.

I don't know if your brain just gave up halfway through my comment or something, man. I'm sorry if it does that. In case you might not be able to navigate your way back to my previous comment or if your brain might just crap out on it again, I'll post the second half neatly below in bold:

...and way off base. They make a conscious decision to take their lives. Just as people make conscious decisions to eat fast food, drive fast cars, go skydiving, and smoke.

Ritual suicide is a decision you make, just like driving a fast car and eating a cheeseburger. These are clearly extremely similar things. Spend less time being a snide douche and more making coherent arguments

No, you can't sadly. You can vaporize nicotine in a flavoured base. Right now I'm enjoying some peach flavoured ejuice. It's a pure vegetable glycerine base because I happen to be allergic to propylene glycol, which is a common base for ejuice.

Ejuice with nicotine is vaporized via a heating element and the vapor is inhaled. Woo

Okay so I have an MFLB and I love tobacco but my throat feels super dirty after smoking cigs so I stopped. Could I find a way to vaporize flavored nicotine in my MFLB? I'm aware that e-juice is for e-cigs :(

I know, right? It's like a somebody posts a comic about somebody with a single different life choice and suddenly all the jimmies are rustled. Cue comment debates about why smoking is bad. If the artist saw this, I'm sure she'd be so disappointed that people are just nitpicking about her habit and paying hardly any attention to the comic itself.

I'm personally more intrigued by the fact that somebody else likes Picross. :)

Exactly, I also think it's pretty shameful to see all these morally judgmental comments on the Internet, you aren't supposed to care about how others damage their own lives if you don't really know them.

If a close relative of yours is a smoker, go ahead and try to talk him out but you're just wasting your time thinking a stranger would put their choices in consideration because you told them "smoking is bad" on reddit, and it's very likely that they are already aware of that.

I consider the only acceptable places to smoke to be personal homes and vehicles, open spaces, and bars and clubs with explicit rules to allow smoking. Usually, asking nearby known non-smokers if it's alright.

Yeah it's bad for you but people shouldn't go to jail and be raped in prison over it, fuck head.

Also most people I know now vaporize it or bake it as edibles. Smoking, while popular, is widely being replaced by products like the volcano and the MFLB. Even the subreddit promotes it as a health alternative.

Edit: Imagine if we put people in prison over cigarettes. "You're killing yourself, so we're gonna ruin your standards of living, make it impossible to get a job and possibly have you raped, beaten, murdered in prison."

I actually agree. When I used to smoke cigarettes I always felt bad if my smoke wafted in some passer-by's face. I know it can be very unpleasant. I like how they handle cannabis in some places, keep it in clubs and at home. Maybe something like that could be applied to cigarettes.

Whelp, I'm going out on a limb here and actually comment on what the post was intended for.....
That would really friggin suck if that happened, especially on more than one occasion. O.o I can totally understand that though, I chill right out when smoking and gaming so the confusion is inevitable.
And non-smokers, calm your tits. You want to know what you riding our asses about smoking really does? Nothing. We really don't care, so save your breath, whatever you have to say won't make us quit.

Yes but it's widely known that smoking is bad for you. Maybe a little encouragement from some redditors helps him consider quitting smoking? Me and my brothers tell my mom every once in a while she should quit smoking, and she's recently started cutting back. Now who knows if it's because of us, but if it is, it's always worth a shot.

I wish you were at the top of the page, bro. So many people nowadays are trained to believe that they can deprive people of their lifestyle choices just because "They're bad for you". And yet, throughout history, we have proven that society will cling to comforting habits no matter how bad they are for us. Yes, there may be less drunkards if you ban alcohol, but the public will always have a yearning for something or other and when it's gone from legal means, organized crime steps in to fill the demand and get an exorbitant cut.
